Before the distribution of certain statistical software, every fourth compact disk (CD) is tested for accuracy. Thetesting process consists of running four independent programs and checking the results. The failure rates for thefour testing programs are, respectively, 0.01, 0.03, 0.02 and 0.01.(a) What is the probability that a CD was tested and failed any test?(b) Given that a CD was tested, what is the probability that it failed program program 2 or 3?(c) In a sample of 100, how many CDs would you expect to be rejected?(d) Given that a CD was defective, what is the probability that it was tested?

Light bulbs are tested for their life-span. It is found that 16% of the light bulbs are rejected. A random sample of 50 bulbs is taken from stock and tested. The random variable X is the number of bulbs that are rejected. What is the probability that the value of X is at least 5?

A random experiment was run 23 times with groups of 24 mice. Each time the experiment was run, 4 mice were initially infected with a disease; the remaining mice were susceptible to contracting the disease. After one day, they measured the number of number of newly infected mice (not including those originally infected). They found the following frequency table: Newly infected mice Newly infected mice 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Frequency 1 2 2 6 5 4 2 1 Determine the expected probability of transmission for this particular variant of disease. Round your answer to three decimal places.

The president of Doerman Distributors, Inc. believes that 30% of the firm's orders come from first-time customers. A random sample of 100 orders will be used to estimate the proportion of first-time customers. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within .05?
A study showed that in 1990, 47% of all those involved in a fatal car crash wore seat belts. Of those in a fatal crash who wore seat belts, 46% were injured and 26% were killed. For those not wearing seat belts, the comparable figures were 43% and 51%, respectively. Find the probability that a randomly selected person who was unharmed in a fatal crash was not wearing a seat belt.

A pharmaceutical company is running trials on a new test for anabolic steroids. The company uses the test on 400 athletes known to be using steroids and 200 athletes known not to be using steroids. Of those using steroids, the new test is positive for 375 and negative for 25. Of those not using steroids, the test is positive for 25 and negative for 175. What is the relative frequency of a false negative result (the probability that an athlete using steroids will test negative)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) What is the relative frequency of a false positive result (the probability that an athlete not using steroids will test positive)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
